There are weeks which can't be over soon enough and it has been one of those weeks for Cleo. I have been worried about her health lately. She has been awfully tired and she has lost weight. The weight loss is something that is desperately required but it came too quickly and the fat reduction took place in areas where it's usually not a good sign. On Monday she had a blood test which didn't show anything abnormal. The vet then recommended a complete checkup via ultrasound and X-ray and and that's why today she had to spend the whole morning at the vet. Apparently she was a model patient which is absolutely unusal for her. The good news is that they didn't find any tumors. The bad news is that her kidneys are smaller than usual (although her renal values have improved) and she has a fatty liver (which for the moment isn't life threating but has to be monitored). The liver issue is most likely a result of her overweight but paradoxically it would quickly get life threatening if we intensified her diet or if she stopped eating completely. For now we treat her kidney and liver issues homeopathically, It is possible that the treatment for her kidneys which has been going on for several weeks now, has triggered the weight loss because it may have stimulated her usually rather sluggish metabolism. The hope is now that we can achieve a controlled weight loss which would not only help her liver but also reduce her arthritis problem. Wish us luck !
This photo of Bandit was taken on Feb. 28 while at his vet for a checkup. Later that evening my legs became very unstable and I was carried by a good friend to an Emergency Room. Long story made short, a MRI revealed I had suffered two small strokes deep in the right basal ganglia. This area controls several parts of the body on the left side of the body. I appear to have no long lasting effects other than my left leg seems to at times drag a bit. I was hospitalized for 4 days and have been home one week. I start therapy this week. Bandit had wonderful care from a neighbor who was so kind to step in.
These past few weeks I have been hiking the trails and working in my garden. My husband and I did a spring checkup on a section of Bruce Trail while doing some light maintenance with fallen trees on the path from the winter. The Trilliums have been beautiful and pristine. I like the idea of having native plants in my garden but I would never try to introduce Trilliums in my backyard. It is not illegal ( yet) to pick Trilliums in Ontario but it is illegal to do so in British Columbia. It usually takes seven to 11 years for a Trillium to mature. The average lifespan of the plant is 20 years. So if you damage the plant in picking it or digging it up, it will be a long time before another one will grow in its place. It is best to enjoy the blooms on a walk in the woods. Then everyone gets to see them!
I had loaned Chris Payne my backup camera and lens as he has no long lens at present. Since he is a Nikon shooter he is not familiar with Canon ergonomics and asked me to check the settings on the camera. While I had it this Great Egret went into preening poses in this beautiful light and Chris said shoot him before he stops. So I did. I need to take this combo out and use it more often, I had almost forgotten what a great tool it is. Thanks for the opportunity Chris.
Other than cropping and converting from Raw to JPEG, this is SOOC.
Must not complain, I suppose I should think myself lucky that I can take walks into the countryside really as I please! Walking is part of my treatment, along with medication, diet and three monthy checkups including scans and blood tests, but walking is the best thing for me. When my Consultant told me I had to retire due to health issues it hit me like a brick. My life up until that point was work, however when I was told to exersise and keep exersising things didn't seem so bad and once the routine kicked in, all was good in the world apart from the interuption of the check ups and forced abstanance, love beer! This is another Autumn walk then, Faversham to South Dunkirk and back, this time without my walking partner, Max, he to is feeling his age....
Louie the exotic shorthair cat is 15 months old and made his first trip to the vet's office in about a year for his annual checkup. He handled it with his characteristic aplomb, just waiting patiently on the scale for the eventual poking and prodding. He came through with flying colors and barely broke a sweat. He tipped the scales just a few ounces shy of 12 pounds.
I took this one at the Wild Basin preserve as well. They sure don't preserve there benched very well..lol. Below is the view for the bench.
Gotta go to the Veteran clinic today for an eye checkup. Sometimes things can happen pretty fast there and other times..lol not so fast.
once a year we go to the doctor for a checkup but don't forget that sometimes we need to check in with ourselves
these are sooc and a bit blurry because of manual focus
I don't know why I haven't experimented more with manual before
Need to get a checkup? In Chinatown, no need to even go in the building, or pay. The doctor will wait for you on the street and give you a free consultation (and upsell, I'm sure!!!) The sign says "免费检测心血管功能" which literally translates "Free Detection of Cardiovascular Function." Or I guess the best translation would be "Free Cardiovascular Checkup." Especially funny I think is the woman walking by the face mask!
My Chinatown series has returned!
Quick question regarding that self portrait i posted. Who thinks I should really do more of that stuff ....... Or should I just stick to what I am more comfortable with. I guess a dumb question, but still. Any words of wisdom?
This winter has been one of our most disruptive for many a year in Cornwall and has been reflected by the sparse and poor numbers of primroses daffodils and bluebells coupled with the fact when they do appear it is for a very short period of time only.
So as we are well into May I thought it would be an idea to see how the thrift were fairing on some of our clifftops.
After a couple of unsuccessful evenings I found these little chaps being blown to bits at Bedruthan Steps.
This really was a challenge to hold on to my 3 legged friend and get enough shutter speed so the thrift were not a complete blur, even in May this was a warm coat, hat and gloves job, so is it any wonder our species of flowers have only been putting in brief appearances and at times not to be seen at all.
On the far headland sweeping to the right can be seen Newquay which has some beautiful beaches, also it is well known for its nightlife in the various pubs and clubs, not a venture for the faint hearted.
Note to oneself: just read this back and it reads quite sensible, might be time for a check up from the neck up Bri.🤔
Thank you all so much for the time you take in viewing my photographs,
Your comments and favs are always so appreciated😇🐎😎
Sundae and Pearl at the vet — giving comfort to each other. Annual checkup— both healthy but need to lose some weight. New vet is a 3 block walk from our new apartment.
Hermione is at the Vet's today (Feb 26, 2018) for her semi annual checkup. She sung an aria the whole way there.
Our view tonight as we await an early morning MD Anderson appointment for Hadley tomorrow. It is just a routine annual checkup but always nerve wracking so reducing driving stress is always a bonus.
Day 18
Had a bit of a drama!! I was at the hospital very early Saturday morning for my 3 monthly checkup with my Hematologist and I came back to find my daughter guarding a large bundle on the chair.
She had heard some tiny noises from my storage area, went in and found baby. She did everything right, made a pouch from a towel then wrapped a jumper round it and waited for me.
Thanks to her, she saved Dumpling's baby. I wouldn't care I had heard possums fighting the previous night but thats pretty normal round here, but now I know it was Dumpling and baby got knocked out of the pouch.
I spent the rest of the day until 3am with baby wrapped up in a pouch and a hot water bottle on my lap. I was really worried about her being dehydrated because remember they are permanently attached to the mothers teat for 5 months and I switched from warm sugar water to half strength powdered milk made up with honey and water and I was able to feed her every hour.
This snake was lazing around when we saw him..and suddenly he yawned.. luckily I had my camera handy at the time.
Is this the Viper ??
You never know what you'll find so a periodic checkup is called for. This rare white morph reddish egret isn't going anywhere until all systems are "Go".
A 65 year old goes to see the doctor for a checkup. So, the doctor says how old was your father when he died?
My father died? Who told you my father died? He’s eighty five and doing very well.
The doctor says Oh, I’m so sorry. How old was your grandfather when he died?
Who said my grandfather died. My grandfather is a hundred and five and doing very well. In fact, he’s getting married today.
The doctor says Wow, that’s amazing! Your grandfather is a hundred and five years old and he wants to get married.
Who said he wants to get married? His parents are forcing him to.
111 Water Saving Tips
#1. There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.
#2. When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
#3. Evaporative coolers require a seasonal maintenance checkup. For more efficient cooling, check your evaporative cooler annually.
#4. Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
#5. Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save 1000 gallons a month.
#6. Avoid planting turf in areas that are hard to water such as steep inclines and isolated strips along sidewalks and driveways.
#7. Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.
#8. Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost instead and save gallons every time.
#9. Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower.
#10. Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks, so that every drop goes down you not the drain.
#11. Check your water meter and bill to track your water usage.
#12. Minimize evaporation by watering during the early morning hours, when temperatures are cooler and winds are lighter.
#13. Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead of running water from the tap.
#14. Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year.
#15. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway or sidewalk and save 80 gallons of water every time.
#16. If your shower can fill a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, then replace it with a water-efficient showerhead.
#17. Collect the water you use for rinsing produce and reuse it to water houseplants.
#18. Divide your watering cycle into shorter periods to reduce runoff and allow for better absorption every time you water.
#19. We're more likely to notice leaky faucets indoors, but don't forget to check outdoor faucets, pipes, and hoses for leaks.
#20. Periodically check your pool for leaks if you have an automatic refilling device.
#21. Only water your lawn when needed. You can tell this by simply walking across your lawn. If you leave footprints, it's time to water.
#22. When you shop for a new appliance, consider one offering cycle and load size adjustments. They are more water and energy-efficient than older appliances.
#23. Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes. You'll save up to 1000 gallons a month.
#24. Install low-volume toilets.
#25. Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. Longer grass shades root systems and holds soil moisture better than a closely clipped lawn.
#26. When you clean your fish tank, use the water you've drained on your plants. The water is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, providing you with a free and effective fertilizer.
#27. Use the sprinkler for larger areas of grass. Water small patches by hand to avoid waste.
#28. Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl, you have a leak. It's easy to fix, and you can save more than 600 gallons a month.
#29. Plug the bathtub before turning the water on, then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up.
#30. Use porous materials for walkways and patios to keep water in your yard and prevent wasteful runoff.
#31. Direct downspouts and other runoff towards shrubs and trees, or collect and use for your garden.
#32. Designate one glass for your drinking water each day. This will cut down on the number of times you run your dishwasher.
#33. Water your summer lawns once every three days and your winter lawn once every five days.
#34. Install a rain shut-off device on your automatic sprinklers to eliminate unnecessary watering.
#35. Don't use running water to thaw food.
#36. Choose a water-efficient drip irrigation system for trees, shrubs and flowers. Watering at the roots is very effective, be careful not to over water.
#37. Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet. It's simple, inexpensive, and can save 140 gallons a week.
#38. Reduce the amount of grass in your yard by planting shrubs, and ground cover with rock and granite mulching.
#39. When doing laundry, match the water level to the size of the load.
#40. Teach your children to turn the faucets off tightly after each use.
#41. Remember to check your sprinkler system valves periodically for leaks and keep the heads in good shape.
#42. Before you lather up, install a low-flow showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save your family more than 500 gallons a week.
#43. Soak your pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean.
#44. Don't water your lawn on windy days. After all, sidewalks and driveways don't need water.
#45. Water your plants deeply but less frequently to create healthier and stronger landscapes.
#46. Make sure you know where your master water shut-off valve is located. This could save gallons of water and damage to your home if a pipe were to burst.
#47. When watering grass on steep slopes, use a soaker hose to prevent wasteful runoff.
#48. Group plants with the same watering needs together to get the most out of your watering time.
#49. Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light, and water.
#50. While fertilizers promote plant growth, they also increase water consumption. Apply the minimum amount of fertilizer needed.
#51. Avoid installing ornamental water features and fountains that spray water into the air. Trickling or cascading fountains lose less water to evaporation.
#52. Use a commercial car wash that recycles water.
#53. Don't buy recreational water toys that require a constant flow of water.
#54. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save 4 gallons a minute. That's 200 gallons a week for a family of four.
#55. Buy a rain gauge to track how much rain or irrigation your yard receives. Check with your local water agency to see how much rain is needed to skip an irrigation cycle.
#56. Encourage your school system and local government to help develop and promote a water conservation ethic among children and adults.
#57. Teach your family how to shut off your automatic watering systems. Turn sprinklers off if the system is malfunctioning or when a storm is approaching.
#58. Set a kitchen timer when watering your lawn or garden with a hose.
#59. Make sure your toilet flapper doesn't stick open after flushing.
#60. Make sure there are aerators on all of your faucets.
#61. Next time you add or replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant for year-round landscape color and save up to 550 gallons each year.
#62. Install an instant water heater on your kitchen sink so you don't have to let the water run while it heats up. This will also reduce heating costs for your household.
#63. Use a grease pencil to mark the water level of your pool at the skimmer. Check the mark 24 hours later. Your pool should lose no more than 1/4 inch each day.
#64. Cut back on rinsing if your dishwasher is new. Newer models clean more thoroughly than older ones.
#65. Use a screwdriver as a soil probe to test soil moisture. If it goes in easily, don't water. Proper lawn watering can save thousands of gallons of water annually.
#66. Avoid overseeding your lawn with winter grass. Once established, ryegrass needs water every three to five days, whereas dormant Bermuda grass needs water only once a month.
#67. Do one thing each day that will save water. Even if savings are small, every drop counts.
#68. When the kids want to cool off, use the sprinkler in an area where your lawn needs it the most.
#69. Make sure your swimming pools, fountains, and ponds are equipped with recirculating pumps.
#70. Bathe your young children together.
#71. Landscape with Xeriscape trees, plants and groundcovers. Call your local conservation office for more information about these water thrifty plants.
#72. Winterize outdoor spigots when temps dip to 20 degrees F to prevent pipes from bursting or freezing.
#73. Insulate hot water pipes so you don't have to run as much water to get hot water to the faucet.
#74. Wash your car on the grass. This will water your lawn at the same time.
#75. Drop that tissue in the trash instead of flushing it and save gallons every time.
#76. If you have an evaporative cooler, direct the water drain to a flowerbed, tree, or your lawn.
#77. Make suggestions to your employer to save water (and dollars) at work.
#78. Support projects that use reclaimed wastewater for irrigation and other uses.
#79. Use a hose nozzle and turn off the water while you wash your car and save more than 100 gallons.
#80. Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious community.
#81. If your toilet was installed prior to 1980, place a toilet dam or bottle filled with water in your toilet tank to cut down on the amount of water used for each flush. Be sure these devices do not interfere with operating parts.
#82. Install water softening systems only when necessary. Save water and salt by running the minimum number of regenerations necessary to maintain water softness.
#83. Wash clothes only when you have a full load and save up to 600 gallons each month.
#84. Leave lower branches on trees and shrubs and allow leaf litter to accumulate on top of the soil. This keeps the soil cooler and reduces evaporation.
#85. Pick-up the phone and report significant water losses from broken pipes, open hydrants and errant sprinklers to the property owner or your water management district.
#86. Bermuda grasses are dormant (brown) in the winter and will only require water once every three to four weeks or less if it rains.
#87. Start a compost pile. Using compost when you plant adds water-holding organic matter to the soil.
#88. Use sprinklers that throw big drops of water close to the ground. Smaller drops of water and mist often evaporate before they hit the ground.
#89. Listen for dripping faucets and toilets that flush themselves. Fixing a leak can save 500 gallons each month.
#90. More plants die from over-watering than from under-watering. Be sure only to water plants when necessary.
#91. Cook food in as little water as possible. This will also retain more of the nutrients.
#92. Adjust your watering schedule to the season. Water your summer lawn every third day and your winter lawn every fifth day.
#93. Turn the water off while you shampoo and condition your hair and you can save more than 50 gallons a week.
#94. Bathe your pets outdoors in an area in need of water.
#95. Choose new water-saving appliances, like washing machines that save up to 20 gallons per load.
#96. Water only as rapidly as the soil can absorb the water.
#97. Aerate your lawn. Punch holes in your lawn about six inches apart so water will reach the roots rather than run off the surface.
#98. Select the proper size pans for cooking. Large pans require more cooking water than may be necessary.
#99. Place an empty tuna can on your lawn to catch and measure the water output of your sprinklers. For lawn watering advice, contact your local conservation office.
#100. Turn off the water while you shave and you can save more than 100 gallons a week.
#101. When you give your pet fresh water, don't throw the old water down the drain. Use it to water your trees or shrubs.
#102. If you accidentally drop ice cubes when filling your glass from the freezer, don't throw them in the sink. Drop them in a house plant instead.
#103. To save water and time, consider washing your face or brushing your teeth while in the shower.
#104. While staying in a hotel or even at home, consider reusing your towels.
#105. When backwashing your pool, consider using the water on your
landscaping.
#106. For hanging baskets, planters and pots, place ice cubes under the moss or dirt to give your plants a cool drink of water and help eliminate water overflow.
#107. Throw trimmings and peelings from fruits and vegetables into your yard compost to prevent from using the garbage disposal.
#108. When you have ice left in your cup from a take-out restaurant, don't throw it in the trash, dump it on a plant.
#109. Have your plumber re-route your gray water to trees and gardens rather than letting it run into the sewer line. Check with your city codes, and if it isn't allowed in your area, start a movement to get that changed.
#110. Keep a bucket in the shower to catch water as it warms up or runs. Use this water to flush toilets or water plants.
#111. When you are washing your hands, don't let the water run while you lather.
While Ian was having an eye specialist checkup, I went off exploring. I couldn't resist following the curiously named "Likely" Street. It led through Strand/Boundary and Lake Streets to a cul de sac, and a path to One Mile Beach. A surprise was in store, a hike up a large sand dune to arrive at this amazing vantage point. Another glorious day in New South Wales, Australia.
One Mile Beach (NSW 198) trends south-southeast from Bennetts Head for 1.3 km to a prominent southern headland. The beach is backed by a vegetated foredune apart from a sand blow at the north end, with a golf course in the centre and residential development at both ends.

A woman lifts her left leg as she boards a fishing boat moored at the seashore, while a man (who is probably be her husband) inspects the engine compartment just before they leave. Meanwhile, another fisherman (l) does a maintenance work on his vessel.

Mr Mouse the dentist is conducting a routine examination, his patient is being very helpful, all looks good, so it's see you again in six months I should imagine.
Don't forget to pay at the reception on the way out !!!!
i came out of the royal london hospital after my four monthly checkup. all was well but for some reason i felt a bit low, even though the next appointment is in six months which is good news :)
i crossed the road to whitechapel market and had a wander to give myself a lift. i passed a fabulous rug stall and saw this colourful rug.
i loved it immediately and thought i'd like that in my kitchen.
i bought it £25 and now it's in my kitchen looking great :)
bought some tasty vegetables and went to my usual friendly curry house for a chicken curry, rice and two cups of tea, delicious, a great pick me up! then home on the elizabeth line tfl.gov.uk/maps/track/elizabeth-line?intcmp=68763 ...

And smile for the camera it did! A just for fun photo of a most obliging Llama (I think).
I suspect its next dental checkup may be just a little overdue.

He had his 6 mo checkup yesterday. At 15lbs, 8oz and 25.5 inches, he's petite.
His first tooth finally broke through yesterday after three months of teething.
He's not feeling so well today. We had to do 2 vaccines to catch up (we're doing a selective/delayed schedule), and between the tooth, the sniffly nose, and the shots, he's had a temp of 101 and been miserable since yesterday afternoon, poor baby.
Está casi perfecta, salvo una rotura en el cuello y un moratón en una pierna. El cuerpo necesita otra limpieza, el pelo está perfecto (gracias otra vez Isi) y el maquillaje de la boca y mejillas también. Le falta la sombra de ojos.
She is almost perfect, except a crack in the back(shoulders) and a bruise on a leg. She needs another body bath... The hair is perfect (thanks again Isi) and the make- up looks fresh and original (no yellowing). No eyeshadow at all (the former owner took it off)
It was time for Wage's checkup, and, being that he's so helpful, he wanted to make things easy on the doctor.
this falcon child was fluttering on the street in front of my house today. he fell out of his nest on the other side of the street and was too young to fly. we caught him carefully and brought him to the animal asylum for a medical checkup
Kathleen visits Alta Bates for a checkup. Kathleen is hooked up to the fetal heart rate monitor. That boy can move! His heartrate stayed around 140 but would peek at about 160. We then went downstairs to get a sonogram. This is to make sure that the placenta looks good and that there is plenty of amniotic fluid.
What did we learn? It was a good chance for Kathleen to get ready for the fetal heartrate monitor which she will have to wear during the end portion of her labor. We also learned that Max has both his feet in the same place which is why Kathleen gets kicked in the same spot all the time.
It was hard to see much during the sonogram. But the heart and the spine were the coolest in my opinion.
The little princess got a new collar ... and HATES IT! They are so sensitive, these 11 creatures ... tiny little change and phew ...
Anyway ... she's pretty cute me thinks! Looking a little wormy (that's an old southern country term) ... and she's tiny already. She'll be getting her annual checkup really soon!
She's got a dirty nose ... aarrgghhh!
